This annoyed me as well. It's been almost three months since the Death Parade LE was released by Funimation. I think I'll import that release instead before it goes out of print.

I doubt FUNis will go OOP anytime soon

Well, all I know is that Funimation said on ANNCast it's one of their bestselling titles and currently Amazon is selling the last of their stock at a discount to Prime members only. As for AL I don't even know if they will release it this year or what it will look like if they do.

Same here, nothing I can't live with.
I tried swapping out the squared cases for some spare rounded ones, but the downside is that it's a tighter squeeze in the box, which may cause problems when the second case and art booklet is housed. I'm not overly bothered with the stacks used here, much better an option than say the GoT steels where the discs are literally stacked one on top of the other.
My only gripe, and it's a minor gripe, is that we've now had three Gundam releases, and all three seem to use different types of case;
0079 - rounded blue
Recon - clear
Zeta - squared blue
If they could be a little more consistent going forward, it WOULD be appreciated!
Although I grant, it's a first-world gripe Preference-wise, the clear cases worked really well on the Recon set, particularly with the white bordered default art on the cases.

If we ever reach a Gundam that requires four discs in one keepcase, they'll have to use different again; a 14mm Elite for it or a 25mm Amaray, so let's just hope that doesn't happen.Same here, nothing I can't live with.

Shouldn't get to that - from Zeta we know that 9 episodes on a disc isn't a no-no. Worst comes to the worst that's 6x9 episodes if needs be - AFAIK none of the shows go above 54 episodes.

There's SEED with 98? episodes (But i guess it would be split between SEED/Destiny so it isn't really a problem)
Gundam SEED and SEED Destiny is going to be a bit of a trainwreck in some form. The Blu-rays released in Japan are apparently director's cut versions so the existing dub may not sync with them. Chances are we could get an Escaflowne situation (TV version for original dub, DC version for new dub if that happens).
In other words if the Escaflowne method does indeed happen, then the UK release would use 4 discs per 2-cour at least.

In that case, they should just get someone that understands how to do seamless branching to author the discs and keep it down to 3 discs.

They also remove the two recaps. I think we may just get the TV with dub DVD (so we won't from AL) and the DC on blu ray sub only

Anything we've not mentioned is just as the date is still somewhat fluid - but all of those are Q2 titles definitely.
Pigtails, just finished work on the 160 page storyboard book, onto the main booklet.

Depends on definition of soon - Death Parade took a while to get some of the JP assets we wanted like the delicious book. Eureka Seven I am actually working on now for the book too but it's a LOT of manual work here to compile - so I don't want to list it until I am 1000% ready.
This is what I mean about the Catch-22. Old school Andrew would have risked it, listed these then delayed them. But we're going to get poked or such either way - this is definitely the better way to handle it.
Why no updates on individual shows off forum? Because I have a literally hundreds of products to work out in any given year so poor Jeremy would be here for a while if I had to list every one
.Hope this helps,

Also firmly in Q2, just working out the packaging now as am having some fun with it!
Best.

SEED HD is a bit of a weird thing in that it's trying to make a pre widescreen show widescreen and a lot of the edits are usually just seconds of new HD animation. They even retcon a few things, mainly for Gunpla sales or weird things like more fanservice.
The subs themselves are basically the same ones BEI used when they released the original cut.
On a related not it makes me wonder if we'll see Unicorn RE:0096, since its HD and has both dub and sub ready. Kind of a shame there are no viable TV markets for it here.

Seems Q2 is quite light for me on series, most of my buys are going to be films and OVA's.
Anthem, Persona, Pigtails, Tokyo Marble Chocolate, Eva, Sword of the Stranger, Belladonna, and Momotaro.
The only series I'm picking up (unless we get a surprise) are Lupin, Overlord, Erased and possibly Charlotte. Still unsure on Gangsta, it had such potential!

I believe Andrew said he wanted the original Unicorn OVAs instead. Though, unfortunately, he's probably at Sunrise's mercy for what he can do.
